4th Interdisciplinary expert dialogue
IEDAS – Active safety and automated driving
24th – 25th October, 2018 in Ingolstadt
Focal points
- Effects of automated driving on the requirements and development of passive safety: in addition to innovative interior concepts and new seating positions, also changes to the events of an accident due to automation have an influence on aspects of passive safety and may lead to adjustments to simulations and physical tests.
- Agile development methods and virtual proof of safety in addition to homologation criteria and certification: Development techniques to implement adjustments on short notice and the necessary verification processes for the licensing authorities.
- Legal and societal framework in the global environment: the conditions to survey data internationally, the licensing of automated driving functions and the trends for requirements of consumer protection agencies as well as legal aspects pertaining to insurance all have an effect on the guiding principles for development.
- Questions pertaining to the explanation of decisions or the training methods for rare occurrences will play a role in the application of artificial intelligence.
- The effects of the automated environment on the driver such as the general acceptance of assistance as well as the influence of that assistance on the driver’s competencies in addition to modeling the performance potential of forecasts are portions of the discussion.
Why you should join
At the conference, when observing the road user in the context of automated driving, the focus is placed less upon physical limits, and rather on cognitive characteristics, the ability to perceive and react. Accident research still delivers valuable results, however in addition to this retrospective approach, the additional element of prospective analysis must also be incorporated. Aspects including adequate validation of necessary functions, assessment of controllability of critical situations caused by road users, a validated prognosis of the potential effectiveness of new systems and many additional similar topics will be specifically addressed as part of this congress.
The focal points described here distinguish themselves by means of both a non-competitive nature and the powerful need for the interconnectedness of the affected and involved parties. This expert dialogue intends to offer a substantial contribution to precisely these two aspects.
As opposed to other events, a strong emphasis is placed on the dialogue character of this event: compact expert contributions with sufficient opportunity for discussion and exchange. The line-up of the program committee reflects the interdisciplinary character contained in the selected presentations.
Chairmanship
Prof. Dipl.-Ing. Klaus Kompaß
Vice President Vehicle Safety
Since 2008 Prof. Kompass is Vice President Vehicle Safety for the BMW Group, Munich. In this role he is responsible for all crash test facilities, the development of active and passive safety as well as accident research and safety aspects of automated driving for vehicles of the BMW Group including BMW, Mini and Rolls-Royce.
Congress content
The automation of the task of driving, the continually increasing transfer of vehicle control tasks from driver to the vehicle and the associated changing roles of man and machine are key contemporary issues in the development of future transport systems. Highly or fully automated driving functions should offer the driver the relief from the primary task of controlling the vehicle and enable his attention to be turned to other matters. This goes hand in hand with the reduction of the risk of accidents and an increase in traffic safety. The mobility of tomorrow on the whole will be markedly changed by the introduction of automated driving.
In order to meet these goals, there are still a number of hurdles to be overcome. The need exists for harmonisation, standardisation and an in depth exchange of information for all involved parties – scientific, regulatory, insurance law and manufacturing.
